JDK-4523276 - RFE: Common control panel infrastructure
Description
Because of space limitations user's may want to be able to change/set the temporary extension (optional package) jar file location (<user>/java_plugin_AppletStore/1.x.x/ext). Add a variable that controls this setting. This option is done/available for other plugin storage locations.
Comments
EVALUATION The java_plugin_AppletStore directory has been changed to be the plugin cache temp directory (UserProfile.getTempDirectory). With the fix to bug 4523276 (RFE: Common control panel infrastructure) the temporary extension files are now stored in the new temporary store directory. The temporary store directory location can not be set by the user. That is, the property deployment.user.tmpdir is not configurable in the deployment.config file. But the user can set the cache directory location, which is where the temporary store directory is located. The cache location can be configured by the property deployment.user.cachedir in the deployment.config file. The property value specified must be in URL form which represents a local directory on the system. I'm closing this bug since bug 4523276 pretty much took care of this RFE. ###@###.### 2002-09-10
